The use of electricity in the US in 1902 was 6.03 x 10^9 kilowatt-hours.
The use of electricity in the US in 1950 was 4.3 x 10^11 kilowatt-hours.
is the equation to figure out the total kilowatt-hours of electricity used during these two years correct?
(6.3×10^9)+(4.3×10^11)=0.063×10^11+(4.3×10^11)=4.363×10^11
No, the equation to find the total kilowatt-hours of electricity used during these two years is not correct.
The correct equation would be:
6.03 x 10^9 + 4.3 x 10^11 = (6.03 x 10^9) + (430 x 10^9) = 436.03 x 10^9 = 4.36 x 10^11
So, the total kilowatt-hours of electricity used during 1902 and 1950 would be 4.36 x 10^11 kilowatt-hours.
i think it is
I apologize for the confusion earlier. Let's reevaluate the calculation:
6.03 x 10^9 + 4.3 x 10^11 = (6.03 x 10^9) + (430 x 10^9) = 436.03 x 10^9 = 4.36 x 10^11
After reevaluating, the correct total kilowatt-hours of electricity used during these two years is indeed 4.36 x 10^11 kilowatt-hours. Thank you for pointing that out.
